Firefighters arrived at this garage in Canton early Saturday morning to fight the blaze that caused nearby residents to evacuate.

Canton fire officials are responding to a fire at 14 North Street, where a private garage went up in flames around 3 a.m. Saturday.

Crews said they arrived to find what looked like an inferno and quickly called for mutual aid from Hartford and Burlington.

No one was inside at the time of the fire, but people living nearby were evacuated as a precaution. According to the man who rented the garage, wood, paint and tools were inside, and firefighters said some of those materials amplified the flames.
